> Now, you can have a Google Apps, Slack, Trello, and Evernote alternative for your business under one subscription.

Long term/philosophically this is is unwise, because you're locking your business' data into one company and then it dictates the direction in which your ideas can expand.

Google Apps aside, all these apps are developed by highly creative and agile (fast) companies.

MS is just an executive switch away from being a monolithic elephant once again..

Oh don't worry. I'm sure the first right of refusal agreements Microsoft has with their larger customers will ensure plenty of people will switch from whatever else they've been using, whether they like it or not.
